after one gin and tonic

it's not exactly

an epiphany

or a coming

to jesus moment, 

but there is a light

that goes

on somewhere

in your cavernous head

telling you 

the truth about

many things.

about people in general

and what you

need to do

to survive among them

you find a way to live

with or without 

them.

one moment of gin induced

clarity

tells you that

contentment and 

happiness lies within.

you don't need to stare

into a candle

or wrap your legs

around your head 

like a pretzel,

or become a monk

to get it.

stop caring so much

for what isn't important.
